Budinger shows best is yet to come with final summer league performance
布丁直到夏季聯賽的最後才展現出真正實力
Houston - If you assessed Chase Budinger’s 2010 summer league performance
simply by the numbers found in the box score, you’d likely walk away feeling
slightly disappointed with the end results. His scoring dipped from where it
was a year ago, while his shooting percentages took a major hit, standing in
stark contrast to how he had set fire to the Sin City nets in 2009.
如果用夏季聯賽的box score來評估布丁的表現,可能會令人有些失望. 比起一年前的
表現,今年命中率有明顯的下滑
But as far as his coaches were concerned, the second-year swingman showed
them everything they wanted to see.
After watching Budinger day in and day out for the last 12 months, the
Rockets know precisely what the 22-year-old Southern California native brings
to the table. They’ve seen his silky-smooth jump shot and borne witness to
his advanced basketball IQ. So when Houston’s coaching staff saw Budinger
struggle with his stroke this week, it elicited little more than a collective
shoulder shrug.
比起這個,教練們更關心這位二年級生是否表現出他們想看到的一面
一年來的觀察,制服組很清楚布丁的能力. 他們見識過其流暢的投籃及與生俱來的籃
球智商. 因此看到這周布丁的慘況, 制服組:"大丈夫~~~"
They were far more interested in Budinger’s overall growth and development
as a player. They wanted to see him display an improved understanding of both
individual and team defensive principles. And they were also eager to find
out if he could handle more of a playmaking role, especially when operating
out of the pick-and-roll – something he struggled with during what was an
otherwise very successful rookie campaign.
比起投籃,他們更著眼於身為球員的整體成長及發展. 希望他更了解個人及團隊防守.
渴望他能成為攻擊發動機,尤其是一直以來的弱點---屁砍弱
The final analysis: no matter what the numbers say, Chase Budinger is leaving
Las Vegas a far better player today than he was one year ago.
“Chase was good,” said Rockets assistant coach R.J. Adelman when asked for
his analysis of Budinger’s 2010 summer league performance. “Chase didn’t
make shots the way he planned on, especially for a guy who’s worked so hard
all summer on his shooting but we know that’s an aberration. He’s a
shooter, he’s going to make shots. He just had one of those weeks.
結論:無論數據如何,布丁確實比一年前好很多!!
被問到布丁在賽季聯賽表現時,愛逗曼的兒子說:"布丁很好很強大!! 對一位努力練習
投籃的選手而言,他錯失ㄧ些進球,不過,吃燒餅沒有不掉芝麻低. 他是個射手"
“The rest of his game is what we were more interested in seeing. He
defended. He had some tough matchups and he really guarded and he put his
commitment in on that end, and that’s something that we as coaches feel is
probably more important than shooting because we know the shooting is going
to be there. Then we also put the ball in his hands to see if he could be a
playmaker and he showed us he can. He can pass it, he can get separation and
he can do more than what he showed during his rookie year, and that’s all
positive.”
比起得分我們更注意其他事情. 譬如他的防守,在場上有幾次對位做的不錯.
有時將球交給他,他處理的很適當. 能傳能打,跟一年前相較進步很多,這是個好現象
Yet while kind words from the coaches are great, there’s still no better
positive reinforcement for most players than seeing the ball actually go
through the hoop, which is why Wednesday’s summer league finale went a long
way in helping to ease some of the frustration Budinger had been feeling
throughout the week. The University of Arizona product was at his
high-flying, sweet-shooting best against the Nuggets right from the opening
tip, scoring Houston’s first 12 points on his way to notching a game-high 24
on 9-of-14 shooting from the field. Budinger attacked with a plan and purpose
from beginning to end, asserting himself the way many – including himself –
had expected to see after watching him burst onto the NBA scene as a rookie
last season.
週三比賽布丁發揮實力,開賽便用爆扣加外線狂抽猛送12分,最後得到全場最高24分
“I personally didn’t think I played very well throughout the whole week,”
conceded Budinger. “My (shooting) percentages were low and I felt like I
could have gotten more rebounds some games as well, so I’d give myself a C.
There were games when I should have been more aggressive. The coaching staff
got on me some games for it.”
"我自認這週表現不佳. 命中率低,籃板保護也不夠. 有幾場應該要再積極一點"
Yes, if being too unselfish is a basketball sin, it is perhaps the only hoops
crime of significance for which Budinger must seek pardon this week. There
were times when he deferred to teammates too much, rendering himself
invisible and ineffective in the process. When on the attack, however, there
was simply no ignoring his presence and impact, which is why Houston’s
coaches continuously implored him to stay aggressive, contrary though that
might be to his laid-back, Southern California demeanor.
如果不夠自私是種罪惡,那這就是布丁的罪狀. 有時太過於幫助隊友(控球前鋒!?)
而導致自己在球場上消失. 進攻端布丁是不二人選,也因此教練希望他更積極些,但這與他
的天性有所矛盾(人太好,也是種罪惡阿 XD)
“You have to prod him a little bit because his personality is that he just
wants to fit in and doesn’t want to step on toes,” said Adelman. “He’s a
guy who plays great with great players because he just knows the game. That’
s why he made an immediate impact on the league because he’s so far advanced
basketball IQ-wise. But in this setting, he’s got to turn it up a notch and
try things. Even if he fails, we want to see him try just to see what he can
do. You kind of have to force him because it’s not really his nature but as
the week went on I thought he got more and more aggressive and it culminated
today when he really made all the big plays for us.”
In the end, then, Wednesday’s game offered hope for those who harbored
concerns about Budinger’s progress. For Chase himself, it served as sweet
relief. But for the Rockets’ coaches and staff, it simply proved what they
already knew: that the best of Budinger is still to come.
"有時候就是得刺激他一下,因為他是那種團隊至上的人. 如果有好隊友,布丁就能發
輝很好,因為他有很高籃球智商. 不過我們希望做些嘗試,即使失敗,也要挑戰自己的極限
由於他人太好,我們必須強迫這麼做. 不過成效如今天的結果"
今天的表現讓對布丁有所期待的人感到滿足,但對制服組而言,這就像證明1+1=2一樣
理所當然.
題外話:
火箭好人真多(XD),我記得Morey也說過八爺人太好都不太出手,火箭隊一堆"有好隊友
就能發揮好的球員",那個"好隊友"是在哪阿.....
